Love Slacker, but... by Ayad
Until they make the app better you should listen to it through the Edge browser. The memory usage in Edge is about 17MB, if you use the app (which is, as others have noted a web - likely IE - wrapper) the memory usage is about 317MB. However it's a start and very appreciated effort. As for the content, it's great. I listen to Slacker all day at work and all weekend at home. EDIT: Downgraded to 1 star because the app will just randomly close. Might have something to do with running an adblocker, but I'm not sure and if they made a native app then it wouldn't be a problem.

Wow, Nice 8.1 Design...Too Bad This is Windows 10 by Rob
Uh...Slacker? You need to update this app. Seriously, it's an embarrassment. I've been a user since the very beginning and the app works great as does the service, but this app is well out of current design, clearly with tablets in mind. News flash, I'm on a laptop right now, which is not a tablet. Really, really, really need to update.

Pandora can suck it by Thomas
Great app. Better music, more variety and great preset stations too. But my only complaint is I haven't figured out how to favorite stations yet. I'm only able to pin stations to my start menu and favorite individual songs. Let me know if anyone figures this out.

Just a web app by Curtis
Come on already, PLEASE right a real native windows 10 app, This app uses 90% CPU and 50% memory when running, just like other WEB APPS. Cannot use it because it is hogging resources. Other music apps use like .8% CPU and 20-30% Memory.

Great App, but missing features by Pete
Please Slacker, put full functionality into this app! As a premium user, it really stinks that I can't seem to be able to search music or view my favourite songs. Otherwise, this app is amazing.

Good when it works by Brandon
I am about to delete this app from my computer. The app for cellphone works much better, and so does their browser based radio. This app freezes, quits playing in the middle of songs, and just generally refuses to play nice. The computer I am using is top notch, so it is definitely a programming issue on their end. I love slacker, but avoid this app.

Need To Update Interface by RJ
I have been a paid subscriber to Slacker Radio for 5 years and even though this is a great app, The interface is like 2 years old. There have been two revamps of the interface since this was the current design. I thought that maybe Slacker would have released an update for Windows 10, however this looks straight out of Windows 8.1 . Please update the UI of the app.

Pretty Bad by Erin
I created an account and browsed the stations. This app is incredibly slow, and going back one page seemed impossible. I added about 20 stations to check out, then found only 7 of them saved to my list - even though the missing ones still showed I had favorited them. After all that, I found this is a resource hog. It ate RAM and ran my CPU up so my fan ran constantly at high speed. Pretty horrible experience overall.
